Yak on The Moon and More on Streaming

In 2015 Yak released the track Smile twice, once as an A side and once as a stand-alone digital "single" and it was one of the highlights of A Best of 2015 on The Moon. It is also a highlight of their recently released debut album, and like a few recent debut albums, it does not quite manage to sustain the brilliance of their pre-album releases. But those pre-album releases were at a very high standard; the A sides were high quality and XFM friendly indie rock but the B sides like Smile, Distortion and Out on a Limb marked them out as something special.
